Road Runner Sports Party Reunion

A few weeks ago I got an email from Road Runner Sports inviting me to a VIP event in the store. I thought it was a trick or something, so I ‘nored it.

Then, Skinny Runner formally asked me to be her date and NO ONE turns down a pretty blonde girl (even I know that) so I said yes. And today after work we headed to our local running shoe store for a rager.

SR brought a cake flavored jello shot for us to pre-game. <- The only part of this post that is not a joke. Apparently she heard I like to hit the bottle. Wonder what gave that away?

When we walked in we got raffle tickets for various prizes. You could get more for visiting the tables around the store.

Happy happy!

The line was out the door and the store was packed. New Balance, Adidas, Brooks, Reebok reps were there among other local vendors.

I am super lucky to have 2 LRS’! I love both but for different reasons. Sadly no Road Runner Sports though. I’m still hoping we’ll get one soon!
My favorite shoes are Brooks! Love the Adrenalines. I’m an Asics fan as well but the Brooks really fit my foot better.
I want a treadmill too! Mostly becuase I hate running in the dark after work. Maybe some day…

We have Sole to Soul in Visalia! It’s a small, locally owned business and they sponsor a lot of community running events, even a half marathon in March! They also have a small running group that meets a few days a week for 5 a.m. runs. I haven’t joined them yet, but I need to! I’ve been wearing Brooks, I like them a lot but I want to get professionally fitted for my next pair.

The local running store that I like the best is The Runner’s Forum. They have 3 locations but the closest one is the one downtown and its the smallest one. All of the fun things happen at the other stores. Boo
